Human Rights and Constituent Power: Without Model or Warranty

With the emergence of modern human rights in the Universal Declaration, what remained of a radical political potential of the discourse withdrew: statism and individualism became its authorised foundations and the possibilities of other human rights traditions were denied. The strife that once lay at the heart of human rights was forgotten in an increasing juridification. This book seeks to recover the radical political pole of human rights. It looks to the debates surrounding constituent power? the?power of the people?? in order to understand different possibilities for the discourse. Using continental political philosophy and critical legal theory, Human Rights and Constituent Power presents a very different conception of human rights, more at home on the riotous streets than in courtrooms and parliaments.Additional ISBNs9780415584975, 9780203804872, 9781136644146, 9786613459893, 9781283459891, 9781136644092, 9781136644085, 9781136644115, 9781136644108Human Rights and Constituent Power: Without Model or Warranty 1st Edition is written by Illan rua Wall and published by Routledge.
